Time after time I went searching
for peace in some void.
I was trying to blame all my ills
on this world I was in



O surface relations used me
'til I was done in.
And you know all the while
someone was waiting
To free me from my sin.



He was there all the time
He was there all the time
O yes, waiting patiently in line
He was there all the time.

Never again will I look for
a fake rainbow's end
You know I found that answer
somehow my life it's just starting to blend



Sharing each new day with Him
is a cup of fresh wine.
And O what I missed,
He's been waiting, waiting
right there all the time.

He was there all the time
O He was there all the time
O waiting patiently,
so patiently in line
He was there all the time



He was there all the time
O He was there all the time
Yes waiting patiently,
so patiently in line
He was there all the time.

O waiting patiently,
Waiting patiently in line
He was there all the time
